Not buying because part 2 exist.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think like me?

This game really checks all my boxes, but I like complete stories, and knowing how bad Part 2, I know I will never play it, so playing Part 1 feels like watching unfinished TV series.
I just rather not start.

Shame really. I think Part 1 explored maybe old, but universal virtues while part 2 is just a political spectacle that doesn't feel true to reality and common logic.

not sure why you think anyone here cares if you're buying or not.

honestly, the fact you made a post about it suggests the probability that you will eventually get the game is higher than someone who never made a post.

i would say just play the game. you can easily go through TLoU Part 1 and have a conclusive story while ignoring 2.

I see where you're coming from man, I'm the same way when it comes to TV & Movies. But I feel like you're truly missing out on one of the best stories told in gaming, or in media for that matter. The story of The Last Of Us 1 is 100% its own standalone story from the beginning to the satisfying conclusion at the end. IMO Part 2 was completely unnecessary and it actually retroactively hurts Part 1's great story.

Tldr : Play Part 1, ignore Part 2 even exists.

I don’t like the direction they took with Part 2 and it’s unacceptable there is woke bs in part 2 but I’m afraid if they released Part 3 I’m gonna buy it on day 1… simply because the universe is interesting

You can agree with him and be smart enough to not care if he buys or not

On the contrary you don't need Part 2 to enjoy Part 1. Part 2 was never expected when part 1 released even when the game was beaten. I can see this will likely be another heavily trolled community of whining trolls. That's like every Steam game now. LoL.

On the contrary Part 1 was a hit. Only thing I can say though is that people did enjoy the multiplayer they seemed to have taken away with the first game I hear. It was populated for years after the original game. Maybe just not having it for achievements if people care for that stuff.

I loved the first part, but didn't got so thrilled about the second when I heard that Joel dies.
Simply as he was the second main for me.
A girl who is immune to the fungi surely is the first main, still I wasn't that much into her to check out how she was doing as an adult and without Joel.

While I understand that Joel saved her in the first part, I still like to have my own continuation of the story in my mind, than the official way.

However,...

I obviously do not share this thought.
Especially as it's suppressing good art and I already have too many issues with my franchise principles and overall taste, to think this is a good reason to not buy or even play a game.

I have Witcher 3.
Never played it, as I am still struggling with 1 (it's a franchise so I would like to play 1, 2, 3).

Well... At least Part 1 received a Remake soon, so I may be able to enjoy it in a more modern way.

agree, the only reason is we know how the journey ends like that, there is no feeling of achievement to finish the whole part...

You'd have to assume they'd release the 2nd part eventually.

I will definitely buy it, despite having serious doubts about part 2. As you alluded to (checks all the boxes), part 1 is a good game with a great story that absolutely stands on it's own merits. Unfortunately, spoilers have been pretty rampant, so I already know basically how it ends, and it's an ending that doesn't require a sequel for closure, so if you don't wish to also play part 2, there's no reason not to play part 1 just as a complete story, in and of itself.
